Rodeo is Cruelty: A Peaceful Demonstration

This will also be peaceful outreach for the billions of animals that are routinely abused in food production and also for the animals that are so severely abused in rodeo events. The National Western Stock Show is a large trade show for the animal agriculture industry, one that is characterized by brutality and violence towards animals. We plan to have a big visual impact with a large "Stop Animal Cruelty" banner and a series of 3' x 4' posters (a total of 10) created by Joanna Lucas of Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary. The poster series can be viewed athttp://www.peacefulpr...

Great posters will be provided, as mentioned above, but feel free to make your own to the point, easy to read posters, if you like. We will also be providing leaflets as well. Afterwards, we can all grab a bite to eat or some coffee/tea if anyone would like to!

Please show your compassion for the voiceless. It is not enough to live compassionately, we must also act and speak up!

~ Animals have their own voices, but few listen. Those of us who hear them, must help them to be heard. ~

This group hosts, promotes, and promotes peaceful direct ACTion.

Why peaceful direct ACTion? Because animals are suffering NOW! If you want to be a voice for the animals and our earth, and get ACTive through peaceful, public, grassroots action, this is the group for you. This is an action based group, beyond letter writing and making phone calls (though those actions are also good things to do, they will not be our main focus).

How we use and treat animals, from factory farms to wildlife, has an impact on us and our environment, besides the suffering caused to the most innocent among us who are entirely at our mercy.

Our activities are a great way to speak up for animals and our earth, and meet other nice folks. We are not a rescue group, but we will have contacts with rescue groups and will help as much as we can. Our signs and leaflets are READY! SET! Let's GO!

PEACE. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still BE CALM IN YOUR HEART.
